I did the exact opposite.

Signed up to dev.to in 2017 as a new years resolution to write a blogpost every week. Just started to write.

Now, I've written over 200 blogposts on my main blog, over 100 for other blogs, and make my main income from paid writing gigs.

Going to try this in 2021. Thanks for the idea.

Why not start right now? There is nothing magical in January the first. Next 5 minutes is perfect time for a new blog post, for example.

You are obviously correct, but I find that new years resolutions are an effective psychological vehicle for me personally.
"Procrastinate later — there's always tomorrow!"
What about starting now and start slowly by writing something like, “My year 2020”. :-)
Beware, this is only one of my new years resolutions that really worked, haha.

But good luck!
